Know You Are Beloved
Press Pause, Breathe Deeply, and Be Known by God
In Know You Are Beloved, popular Instagram influencer and English priest, Rev. Chris Lee, helps you escape the chaos and focus on who you are before God.
When was the last time you took a deep breath and pondered how God delights in you?
We live in a unique time. Our days are filled with images, text, and noise, continually streaming from a screen that all of us obsessively carry. It weighs us down. Its beeps clamor for our attention, and all of this distraction is wearing us thin. We have been through―and are going through―a great unsettling in our world. What once satisfied simply doesn’t anymore. We are united in a sense of our own fragility. We have been shaken, and this has left us startled and dazed.
With a series of short chapters, Rev Chris Lee takes you on an inspiring journey to meditate on essential truths that help you live your life with purpose and serenity, secure in the knowledge that your identity and worth are found in Jesus’ love for you.
Know You Are Beloved can help you sit still, breathe deep, pause the chaos, and enter God’s loving presence.
A few years back, Rev. Chris Lee started sharing his thoughts about the time we are living in on Instagram in short sixty-second sermons. People resonated with the spiritual break that he was offering on social media. That’s when he decided to write a book that would help people to fight back, put down their phones, sit before God, and know they were his beloved. Each chapter seeks to refocus you on simple yet profound truths of the faith, borrowing from the great lessons from Christian history. Each succinct chapter ends with a place to breathe deeply and sit in silence―a welcome opportunity to calm your spirit and turn your gaze to God. The book will take you into a deeper place with your faith, more secure and more intimate.
You can find peace, security―more fullness in your life.
You can find wholeness and healing.
You can know beyond a shadow of doubt that you are seen―and that God delights in you.
You are his beloved.
